The MD0101DB1 demoboard contains two MD0101 packages providing eight T/R switches in the system. This demoboard replaces eight discrete diode bridge protection circuits. The input of the MD0101DB1 is called TX, which is connected to the output of the transmitter, and the output is called RX, which is connected to the input of the receiver. The clamping diodes are integrated between the RX and RGND. There is a 0Ω resistor connected between the RGND and the ground plane of the board. If external diodes are desired, the 0Ω resistor has to be removed and the external diodes can then be connected between the RX and RGND.
